Oaklawn Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Claiming
LIKE A DIAMOND (13) Couldn't keep the pace going when 3rd last start at this venue and putting a tidy record together. In a purple patch of form this campaign. Should be in the finish. WHISPERING CHARM (11) Was quite a handful for the competition when 3rd last run at this venue. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Producing consistent results this preparation. Can win. SWEET BABY D (4) Came in 6th last start at this venue. Capable of a strong comeback. Might take a while to wind up but should be hitting top gear in the straight. Can go on with it. CONNIPTION (9) 3yo debutant sired by Petrov for trainer Ron Moquett. Watch the betting.

Racing fresh today after a break. At $53.00 unimpressive effort when 12th last run at this venue but gets a favourable stall. Luis Fuenmayor provides some weight relief. In a lot of trouble.

Odds of $43.00 and struggled with the pace when 10th last start around here but was on debut last time. Gets back and needs luck. Not likely to be troubling the more fancied runners today.

Was $18.00 and finished 8th last time at this venue but fitter for debut run. Expected to settle towards the tail. Will be tested.

Odds of $43.00 and sub-standard effort when 8th last time at this venue but having second race start. The large claim from Amanda K Poston helps. Not interested today.

Jumped at $6.00 and showed some merit late when 5th last time here and was a debutant last start. Prefer a return to something a lot easier.

Big effort to finish 3rd last run at the track. Should muster plenty of early speed. Putting up notable efforts this preparation. Good chance of taking this out.

Odds of $14.00 and faded away to finish 6th last run here. Has the speed to overcome the wide stall. Few more classier types in this race.
